Johnson’s Beach offers the summertime fun of a Russian River campground all within easy walking distance to Guerneville’s charming downtown. Located on 3.5 acres of privately owned land, the Johnson’s Beach campground features 37 tent camping spots overlooking the Russian River. Broad-limbed sycamore and black walnut trees provide a shady retreat from the sun-drenched beach area during the daytime, and our hillside vantage point provides a beautiful nighttime view of the moon and the stars reflected on the river.
2 night minimum for weekends during peak season, 3 for holidays and special events.
